Buddy just bought a early 80's Dodge Ram truck with the slantsix.... he is seriously considering keepingit and beefing it up as its a great low miles engine..... suggestions?? idea??

 

Depends on how much power he wants.
You can get a 4BBl adapter kit
Performance header and exhaust
I hear you can turbocharge a slant 6 and even more!

 

I suggest that your friend head over to http://www.cliffordperformance.net/ . There he will find the quality and affordable parts he needs to make his slant six a Hemi contender (well, maybe not in a truck with all the weight, but he'll certainly be ALOT quicker).
